T. Dobfon, solicits the favor of the subscribers to call or fend for their vo lumes, that they may be supplied as early as po/fible. The tsnth volume o! the Encyclopedia is now presented to the public ; but as it makes it) appearance in an iinperfcft ftatc, some ac count ot the real'on of that imperfection Ihould a the September last, the rublijher had the misfortune of having his Printing-office burnt down by a fire which btoke out in the neighbourhood, and a great quantity «>f his printing materials deftroved and among other articlos, the riounES, with which he was printing the tables or lo garithms, belonging to the present volume, were melted down by the violence of the fire. As a supply of these could not be immediately ebtained, he was under the neceflity of pub ' n g the volume without the:e tables; but hopes he (hall be ahle to publilh them with the next volume which is now in considerable for wardnefs. The Publisher embraces this opportunity of exprelling his grateful acknowltdgments to the generous public, for the very liberal pa tronage with which his undertaking has been honored; at the fame rime he takes the li berty of representing to f'uch of the fubfci ibers [ as are in arrears, the indifpenfible neceflity of punctuality, both in takinj up ihe volumes as early as pofHble after publication, and of pay ing for them when taken. Many of the fub (bribers having got only one, two, three, &:c. volumes, and several volumes remain unpaid Thus the work hangs in all its different ltages from the commtmemunt; and though the im portance of a few dollars may be but a trifle to the individuals, yet the accumulation of these trifles unpaid lays the Publilher under very serious emharraflment, and deprives him of the ule of many Thonfands of Dollars which at this time would be of verv eflential service For these reasons the Publilher finds himfelf under the neceflity of recurring to the original terms of nublication, and in future no vo lumes will be delivered but only to those who take and pay to the time ot publication.
